Grand opening planned for Centra Care

Florida Hospital is planning a celebration to mark the opening of the first Centra Care clinic in Volusia County.

Located at 1208 Dunlawton Ave. in Port Orange, the clinic will serve as an alternative to the emergency room for urgent, non life-threatening medical needs.

The grand opening will be from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Thursday. The event will feature glucose, cholesterol and blood-pressure screenings, balloon animals, face painting and snow cones.
